Critics Consensus

Faithful to the comics and filled with action, X-Men brings a crowded slate of classic Marvel characters to the screen with a talented ensemble cast and surprisingly sharp narrative focus.

3/4

The X-Men comic books have spawned a cottage industry of mutant characters, and the movie helps make sense of these legions while offering the established fan base something new to cheer.

Exciting mainly because anything can happen and does, the movie drags a bit as it approaches a climax set on top of the Statue of Liberty. But once there it revives.

3/4

This is a film that should satisfy fans of the hugely popular comic book and audiences who can't tell one uncanny X-Man from another. Mutants rule.

4/5

It's impressive how much good casting can elevate an otherwise silly concept. Similarly, it's surprising how much more satisfying 104-minute movie can be, as it's not trying to break the storytelling mold.

3/4

There are potent motives behind every character, and the actionized plot resembles a morality play more than typical good vs. evil superhero fluff.

Incredible. I definitely caught onto the historical allegory, and I interpreted it as an allegory of racism in the south post American civil war. The actors are all absolutely incredible and are the best part, plus the conflict between magneto and professor X is amazing.

The classic that started it all! Introducing Wolverine, Rogue, and the war between Xavier and Magneto perfectly. The cast is elite, the vibes are pristine, and it deserves a full 5 stars for launching the modern superhero era! Absolute masterpiece

Excellent, the entire trilogy is great. Everything after the original trilogy, starting with First Class screws up the timeline.

X-Men (2000) is a strong, iconic superhero movie that helped start modern comic-book films, with memorable characters like Wolverine and Magneto, a serious tone, and a solid story about acceptance and prejudice, even though the action is a bit dated

Me gusta que a pesar de los años esta pelicula se ha conservado bien, y el que sacaran material adicional me aporta mas información de los protagonistas. En esta pelicula se siembran las bases de lo que va ser cada uno de los X-Men.
